In the first lecture, we spent most of the lecture covering the syllabus. I mentioned that, for the first half of the course material, there are many slectures on the Rhea website which can be used as supplementary material. See the list here. We also talked about rigor and looked at an example from calculus. (Along the way we used Euler's identity, which will come back many times in the course.)

- versus non-rigourous homework problem justification- good document to read (It's for math but the same applies to engineering courses.)
Action items for students:
- Get the course packet from Boiler Copy Maker (before Wednesday)
- Read Rhea's disclaimer.
- Read the ECE438 Peer legacy page and consider contributing to other peer legacy pages, such as ECE201, ECE202, ECE301, and EPICS.
